Banzembo 130

1 Nzembo ya mobembo mpo na kokende na Ndako ya Nkolo. Nkolo, nazali kobelela Yo wuta na mozindo ya pasi!

Out of the depths I have cried to thee, O Lord:

2 Nkolo, yoka ngai! Yoka mabondeli na ngai!

Lord, hear my voice. Let thy ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.

3 Yawe, soki obosanaka masumu te, Nkolo, nani akokaki kotelema?

If thou, O Lord, wilt mark iniquities: Lord, who shall stand it.

4 Kasi bolimbisi ezali epai na Yo, yango wana basengeli kotosa Yo.

For with thee there is merciful forgiveness: and by reason of thy law, I have waited for thee, O Lord. My soul hath relied on his word:

5 Na motema na ngai mobimba, nazali na elikya kati na Yawe, nazali penza na elikya; nazali kozela maloba na Ye.

My soul hath hoped in the Lord.

6 Nazali na elikya kati na Nkolo koleka kutu ndenge mokengeli azelaka kotana ya tongo, koleka penza ndenge mokengeli azelaka kotana ya tongo.

From the morning watch even until night, let Israel hope in the Lord.

7 Isalaele, tia elikya kati na Yawe, pamba te azali bolingo, mpe kokangolama ya kokoka ezali elongo na Ye.

Because with the Lord there is mercy: and with him plentiful redemption.

8 Ye nde akokangola Isalaele na bambeba na yango nyonso.

And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
